Ovation and Ultra waterbed bladders are made by Dreamlover
Waterbeds AustraliaThese are manufactured in Queensland Australia.
Our heavy now 900 gram per square meter layers are the foundation layers. We
increment these with a 400 gram layer to give the various levels of medium,
firm, extra-firm and hard. This makes baffles a lot more reliable to tangle and
degrading. Ovation comes with a full 5 year warranty Ultra come with a full
5 year warranty including the baffles inside ( we are the only
one to include the baffles)Please note that some companies claim that they
make their own label bladders. What is not mentioned is that they are made in
China. Their selective information to you. Their layers start at 450 gram/sq
meter, half ours.Wave reducing bladders on this site are not fully imported
but are a product of Dreamlover Waterbed World

QUEEN TIMBER frame mattresses wave reducing

Below are descriptions on mattress performances. Please note that this is a guide only and if you require accuracy then it is best to lay on beds in our showroom. However the information is a accumulation of nearly 20 years in the industry. When selling mattresses over the phone we refer to the below guide. We have a accuracy of around 95%.

Movement
This test is conducted, filled to specifications. In our test there are no people on the bed or bedding items with the exception of the lambs wool or quilted cover. Please note that with the zip on/off covers, which are standard with the soft sider beds, and with the reduction of water volume, wave motion is reduced so you can't directly compare a timber frame bed to a soft sider.
Our test is to sharply push down one corner of the mattress until you can't go any further, and wait. Times are approximate.

TEP 0

This mattress contains no internal baffling. It is refered to as a standard or full float bladder For one person the mattress will move around a lot and will settle down reasonably quickly For two people of near equal weight, the movement of one will disturb the other for about five to seven seconds. There are still a few who adore this type of mattress where movement is not an issue. For two people of different weights, the lighter one will sleep higher than the heavier partner. This type of mattress will contour into different body shapes with equal support all around If movement is not an issue then this bed should be ideal. For back pain where movement is not an issue, you may want to test this one. Those who don't mind movement and suffer from pressure points, this is probably the one

2 Light Layers ALMOST ROCK & ROLL

SEMIWAVE-LESS
TEP 100-800

Mattresses with a minor amount of baffles are nealy a waste of time and
sales interest is reflected accordingly. The baffles will dampen
movement a small amount. There is very little baffle support With
couples of different weights, the lighter one will still sleep higher
Sales in this group is very low. Less than 1%
Settles in about 38 seconds

I LIKE A LOT OF MOVEMENT BUT NOT EXTREME

MEDIUMThis range has been incorrectly and loosely termed waveless in the pastTEP 900-1200

Now
we are starting to really notice a reasonable amount of dampening of
wave action. Extra baffle support from underneath is getting better but
still in the lower level For the lighter single person who likes a
little movent but not overwhelming it is a possible choice Couples of
equal weight will still have a lot of movement but far less than a full
float The lighter partner in couples some weight difference will still
sleep highter but notably less
Sales are still very low in this range. About 2%

FIRM1&FIRM2This range has been incorrectly and loosely termed waveless in the pastTEP 1300-1800

Now
we are entering into a popular range. Although this range still has
some degree of movement It is a main choice for those who like to feel
a little wave action, have some baffle support and still contour nicely
to body curves. For singles and lighter couples wave action stops
reasonably quickly with a more gentle wave action. The lighter partner
in couples where there is a reasonable degree of weight difference will
still sleep higher, but nowhere near the degree of a standard full
float mattress Those who suffer from pressure points and require some
stability usually go for this range
Sales increase sharply in this range about 30%
Settles in about 9 seconds and 7 seconds respectively

EXTRAFIRMTEP 1900-2200

We
are now entering into another very popular range. Wave action in this
range is greatly reduced and baffle support is reasonably strong.
Singles and light couples usually stop at this level as support is
strong. Couples with reasonable weight difference also have a passion
for this range as the lighter partner is not sleeping much higher that
the heavier partner. We get more complements about our mattresses here.
Those who require stability and support for their backs usually start
in this range This is usually the upper range for those who require
support and suffer from pressure points
Sales are very high in this range about 50%

HARDTEP 2300-2500

Being
one stage up from the previous range there is more support and
stability. Some lighter couples are starting to find this range hard.
For those who require support and stability find this range usefull This
range notably starts another process called compression. The baffle
thickness now near the depth of the mattress now compresses when
someone lays on it as the baffle now touches the top and bottom of the
mattress skin
Sales in this range are about 6%
